The Counteraction of Corruption in Indonesia Based On the International Agreement (Extradition) Between Indonesia and Singapore

In early 2022, Indonesia signed an extradition agreement with Singapore. This extradition agreement with Singapore is crucial because Singapore has been one of the destinations for Indonesian fugitives, particularly in corruption cases. The territory of Singapore, with its direct proximity to Indonesia and the visa-free arrangement for Indonesian citizens visiting Singapore, creates an environment where criminals can potentially use Singapore as a final destination or transit point for their illegal activities. This analysis examines the counteraction of corruption in Indonesia based on the international agreement (Extradition) between Indonesia and Singapore. The research adopts a normative legal research approach. The extradition agreement between Indonesia and Singapore will facilitate law enforcement authorities in Indonesia in resolving criminal cases where the perpetrators are located in Singapore. This allows law enforcement to take action against the criminals. Extradition also makes potential wrongdoers think twice before attempting to flee to another country, knowing that the destination country has an extradition agreement in place. In the fight against corruption, the Indonesia-Singapore extradition agreement is beneficial in preventing criminals from escaping to other countries, enabling the apprehension of wrongdoers, and facilitating the recovery of assets obtained through corruption.
